The conchision .of peace bdtween France and Austria -has been suc ceeded by two defeats, one in La Mancha, and the oilier in Castile ; and the GOvernment, instead of concealing or palliating these unfortunat*vents, has announced them with the candour and sincerity to which it is accustomed. But if fortune 'and skill have snatched from us the victory, they have not deprived us of that valour by which skill is con quered, and fortune subdued. The wall of brass which French iniquity, has raised between us and them, cannot be removed by these transitory mis- fortunes. Where is the Spaniard who, in the midst of the difficulties in which the rigour of fortune has placed hino, will dare to raise his voice and wish to be French ? If there b 4 none—if the unaniutouS wish of the nation' be to continue Spaniards, at all risks, let ui redouble our efforts to remedy the evils we tuffer, and look forward, instead, ot looking back upon thy past with dismay. Such is our situation— such our duty. " The Supreme Junta, the .organ of the wishes of all good patriots, the moment that rumours of peace began to be beard, the fatal presage of the misfortunes which have since succeeded, began to • take measures proportioned to the magnitude of the evil. The statement already drawn up and publish ed of the funds received and invested by the Junta, will immediately spew to the nation the immense resour:_es that are necessary to maintain the war hi therto, and the nevi .fforts which, in the situation in which we are, it is necessary we Should make: But the Government is well perivaded that neither dif ficulty nor sacrifice will appear &tat to Spaniards, if they aredireeted to the salvation of the nation. " The means taken hitherto are ,the following, which are recapitulated here, though some of them • have already been. published for the information.of the nation . t in the mean time, every measure will be,talctli for their due execution. 'the Supreme Junta has resolved that the Order of the . 4th of April, that the jewels and plate of the churches, not necpssary:for public Aorship, shall be sent to the mint at Seville, shall be carried into execution with ell due exactness and promptitude; that a fOicedloan of half the gold and wrought silver in the possession of individuals shall be opened; that an extraordi nary contribution shall be imposed on all classes of the state; that all useless offices shall be suppressed as they fall vacant; ,that a loan shall be opened o£ six millions of dollars in Spain, • another of forty mil:atolls in Americal that a contribution shall be imposed on coaches, and other carriages of conve nience; that our armies shall be augmented with 100,000 men ; that 100,000. lances, and 100,000 poinards shall be manufaaured, to be distributed among the provinces whero they may be of use ; that the difeeient points of the Sierra, from Santa Olalla to the Kingdom of Granada, shall be survey ed by able engineers,; that all the companies of the corps 'of the army _shall be supplied with compe• 'tent officers; that besides - the means'that'aie employ ed with extraordinaty . aaivity to replace the arms and effeas of the army, the superior Junta, by such means as they may judge most suitable, shall cause the mus kets of the peasants to be colleaed that three i)e. putfts shall go (as they have already gone) to the army of La Mancha, with ample powers to remedy the misfortune at Ocana, and to prevent similar in. future. " May these mean', and others not less energetic, which the Government has in contemplation, con .. tribute to inspire the Spaniards with confidence, and to the defence and salvation of the . country."— (Go ternment Gazelle, Dec. 2.) Yesterday at two o'clock, 'eleven deserters were, lodged in the Savoy, in the Strand. These men de serted from the army in. Halifax, with an intention of getting into the United States of America, but were pursued and made prisoners. Some of. them were so tame that they could hardly walk. They were under the escort of a serjeant's guard of militia. The Inverness Regiment of Militia is appointed to do duty jointly with the Artillery of the King's Ger man Legion; over the French prisoners, when they • •ccupy Porthester Castle. Yesterday morning the first battalion of the both regiment, lately returned, from Walcheren, marched from Silverhill Barracks for Hastings, there to re main. The 2d battalion is still at Silverhill Barracks. • The 77th regiment began 'their march this morn ing from Chichester Barracks for those of Bexhill The Officers of the 7th, loth, 15th, and 18th Regiments of Light Dragoons, being four ilus,cir Regiments, have subscribed upwaids of 15001. for the purpose of purchasing a piece of plate, to pre , . sent to Lieutenant-General PAGET, Colonel of the 7th Regiment.- AinorK the subserisz;rs are the Prince Of WALES, cOO l. and the Duktt of CUMBEI.I - the same sua-L. er arin3l are to V, Rada' mour s 3) deration lm of g f his (:1 )ured, ti L.:on tedel e of gil !OCIE fleeting discs Pr for N and 3 1 Husbar the gent ry )cesen in were )ttlmu I Grim ,l and use omote 3ocietir 1 awl' C .

The Catalcnians, fired with the noblest enthusiasm, vie with each other in limping to arms ; as secure of the triumphs they are about to obtain,' as confident in their owu vigour aLxl' consiaricf, they consider themselves greatly superior to all the obstacles that tyranny can oppose to them. • Claros'and Robira; with eight thousand men each, have been ordered to post themselves on the road from France, to oppose the advance- of the rein , forcements that have been announced, and. to int2r cept the convoys. We learn also that the chief 'command of those troops.has been conferred on the . Marquis De Portago ; the post of General of the Vanguard has been conferred on ,O'Donnell, that of cavalry on Caro, and Robira and Milans, Claros and Davin, ,and several other distinguished officers, have been nominated Generals of Division. DEC. 24.—We learn from Madrid that the usurp er Joseph, with all his coadjutors, are busily em ployed in preparing their travelling equipages. This skews, that either the information which we have re ceived from the North is unfounded, or that some attack is in contemplation, as they are accustomed to provide for them Selves against whatever may happen, or, in short, that they tear some movement iri the armies. The 'magazines that were establish ed at Talat era have been removed. On the t4th inst. the enemy's troops that were at Valdepenas and at lefante were on their retreat. On the same day two thousand stand of arms were distributed among our arioy. The number of troops that have joined it is very considerable. LERID:II 6 . DEC. 4.--The enemy. from Arragon, who had attempted to penetrate through Alfarras and Almenar to Balguer, were gallantly repulsed by the.troops stationed there, and by the inhabitants of Comarca, who, the moment the alarm Wai given by the ringing of the bells of Somatern, went out with great fury against the enemies of their tranquility and repose. We hope that those troops of maraud ers that infest. this neighbourhood will be reduced in a short time to the greatest difficulties. GRANADA, DEC. 20.—At our army of La Man cha a part of the thirty thousand men, infantry and cavalry, have already joined. SANTA CRUZ DE LA ZAIRGA, DEC. 2.—Last Sun day 26 French infantry,arrived here with a design to carry off 600 sheep, for their troops at °Gana ; but, during the night, the paity of horse under D.Atfouzo 06tavio, consisting of . 60, partly soldiers and partly smugglers, made its appearance, and fired on the house where the French were quartered, and killed two of them ; the French immediately fled, after firing some shots, and, tieing pursued by our _people, left several dead on their route. They, however, returned, after having procured a reinforcement of 100 men, which compelled Odavio's party to retire, and the enemy came to this place, where they com mitted the greatest excesses. CORDOVA, DEC. 19.—Remittances are continually passing throrgh here for the army - of the centre ; the day before yesterday, six pieces of cannon, 48 loads of niusk( t 4, and seven of cloathing, passed this way. This circumstance shews the great activity on the part of our wise :athd zealous Government, and that Spanish patriotism, far from being diminished; is still on the increase. Yesterday afternoon a young man, son to Mr. Simpson, salesman, in Tothill-stieet, Westminster, ventured to skait on the ice, on the'canal, itt tit. James's-park, when it broke, and he was unfoitu- 1 -irately. droned. The body was taken home to his disconsolate parents. So intense was the frost on Sunday night and yes-. terday, that the ponds in the vicinity of the town were frozen over, and the ice in sonde places was upwards of two inches thick. Yesterday,•about eleven o'clock, some boys very imprudently ventured on the ice on the canal in St. James's Park, when the ice broke, and two of them fell in; but, by timely assistance, they were go; out without any other injury than a good ducking. The. French Papers AffeEt to, ridicule the reception which the Persian Ambassador has experienced in this country, and describe him as not really the repre sentative of the Persian Monarch, but as merely an . appendage to the household of an Officer at the Per sian Court. It is needless to comment on the absur dity of supposing that the Persian Government, which is influenced by such high notions of etiquette and dignity, would have dispatOed a character of this subordinate kind, as the representative of its Monarch, to a Foreign Court. The spleen of RUON APARTE will sufficiently-Account for this peevish and ridiculous misrepresentation, for if an Ambassador fretn Persia, even of such a description as that men tioned in the French Papers, had been sent to France, thoie Very Papers would have been ordered to hold him in as high colours as if they bad drawn their rhetorical flourishes from the lofty stores of Oriental adulation. On the 3d inst. an awful accident happened in a coal-ph, in the. parish of Madely, Shropshire, be longing to the Madely-Wood Company. The cir cumstancewas as follows :—On the preceding night, the sulphur took fire, and kindled the timbers which supported the ~opt, at which time there were 13 men and 8 horSes down, but, providentially, they were t all got up without injury. Next day, however, about noon, four men went down, for the purpose of endeavouring to extinguish the fire, but after re maining there half an hour, the sulphur became so powerful that they were all suffocated, without a possibility of rendering them any assistance. PEDESTRIANISM.—An artist of the name of Marks, a native of Dorchester, has undertaken, for a wager of TOO guineas, to go on foot 160 miles on the western turnpike road in 48 hours. He will start from Twickenham on- Wednesday morning, and pursue his route towards Bath. The pedestrian will require at least six hours rest, during the fatigue, and even then he will have to perform , four miles an hour for the two days. Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, afire broke out in Long-acre, near Langley-street. Two houses were burnt down, and considerable damage ws tained. There was a scarcity of water at first, but as soon as it was plentifully oh...ail:ea, the tialnes , wme • got upGle r. .;' , 'RENcil PAkk"§,. PAtUS, JAN. 7.—His Eminence' the Prinee 711:- is to occupy the Hotel Marbeuf, in no suburb of St. Honore. The new - Chamberlains of his Milk*y the EM=: peror yesterday ttil* their oaths in his Majesty's prcsence._ _ _ _ The Imperial 'Carriages that - bad been left at Vienna, passeJ through Nancy on the ad, on their way .to Paris, laden with glass. cases, containing va rious animalstOd inseels. . Letters from Basle 'of ,the 27th ult. Slate, that prosecutions are going on in the Grisons, against dividuals accused of • having favoured the Austrians and Tyrolese Insurgents . , in the late war. The spe cial commission at Coire haS summoned Alois Pi nola de Como to' appear at its bar. An article from Madrid, of the 21.51-ult. says "The war already kindled among the MeMbers of the Junta • has not, as might be easily foreseen, con fined itself to that body. • The popolste of Seville, among whorn England has caused guineas to be dis tributed' by handfuls, as 'the price of a few ports and a few vessels of which she wishes to get pos session, have- mingled their' excesses with the dis orders' usually incident to anarchical assemblies. We accordingly learn, that blood has flowed in the streets of Seville ; and that several Members of the Junta have become the victims . of the delirium in which they thtinselves participated. The , Cabinet Of London relies more than ever. upon RGnaana and its Generals promise to support him; but at ki distance, and with their accustomed predence- - - provided always that the reinforcements expected from France do not too soon disconcert these new combinations. The square de Toros will, accord ing to his Majesty's orders, be ipeeddy restore:l to its former state ; and the diversion of bull-fighting, which, owing to circumstances, had been suspend ed, will be resumed. In proportion as the French troops advance into the provinces lately occupied by the insurgents, the different towns, which they approach, send Deputations . to the Generals, to inform•them of their submission, and to request garrisons, to which they promise the best treat ; ment." Le Gascon privateer, of Bourdeaux, has put into L'Orient, after a cruize of 48 days,. to repair da mages, and, to land her prisoners, She captured three English vessels. The first was a galliot, of 70 tons, bound from Malta, with a cargo of dried fruits, and 2000 kilograms of raw silk. After tak ingout the silk and the crew, he was compelled to abandon this prize, in -consequence of being chased by a frigate. The second was a vessel of 300 tons, bound from Quebec to London, with-spars and deals. The third was a . vessel of 300 • tons, bound from Rio Janeiro to London, with a cargo of coffee, wear, bides, cotton, and wool. Ot these he dispatched the former on the 23d ult. for a port, and he parted from .the latter in a gale, in the night of the 24th, in lat. 49. 30. N, long. 9, 4. He took out of her 2000 dollars, and two packets of topazes. These two prizes are expeded to have made some port ip Brittany. The Captain states, that on the 22d ult. at daybreak, he discovered a vessel which appeared to be in great distress, having only her mainmast standing, and not a rag of sail upon it. On passing under her stern, which was stove . in, he 'saw several men who ,were almost exhausted, and could only lift up their hands to implore , compassion. He made the most protnpt exertions for their relief; and six of these unfortunate beings,' including the Captain, were taken on board the privateer in a most lamentable condition. - They • had been nine days on the wreck without a morsel of food.. The name of the vessel was the Aorthern Friend, J. Elm, master, and she was hound to Chatham with a cargo of spars. The privateer will shortly proceed to sea, to complete her cruize. Arrived at Brest on the .29th ult. the Valde, of Petersbnrgh, 'Captain Horatio Moore, a prize to the Confiance privateer. She left Lisbon on the 2d for Liverpool. Her cargo consists of '229 hogs heads of tobacco, 85 barrels of potash, and 16,000 pipe staves. The same privateer burnt, on the 18th ult. the Anierican brig the John, which was on her passage , from London to St. Mary's, one of the Azores : she was in ballast; • The prisoners taken in the. former prize are 12 Americans and a passen ger ; in the latter four Englishmen and" a Swede. A vessel taken by the M. Chauchard privateer, and said to be laden with port wine, has arrived at Cony:et. The-French privateer Le Decide bas capturedjwo English brigs in the Mediterranean: Arrived at St. Jean-de-Luz; the American ship The Joseph., Samuel Stacq, master, captured on the 26th by the .entrepre4ant privateer.

Their cargoes consisted of flax-seed, li quorice, madder, and other dye stuffs. A letter from Naples, ofahe 16th ult. mentions the arrival there of brig from Salem, laden with co lonial produce, a prize to the Neapolitan privateer Le D'Aure.

It sets*fortb, that its duties towards the august Me- diator of the Confederation, and the tenor of the military arrangements concluded with Spain in 1804, do not permit subjefts of 'the Canton to serve under the colours of Powers at war with France, The Lucerne soldiers in the service of Spain, and who ► have borne arms against France, are,. consequently summoned to lay them down. Those officers and soldiers who shall not, within six months alter the publication of the Decree, prove their compliance with this summons, will be deprived of the right of citizenship, and banished from , the territory -of Lucerne.

Purclasers limited their speculations to the most riec,.ssary ar- ! tides, lacing aware of the change of system, adopted by the 'Prussian Government . w.th respe& to that fair.

MADRID, DEC.. 20.—His Excellency Marshal the Duke of Ejchingen has arrived at Valladolid, on his return from France. It is confidently stated, that he is to assume the command of one of the armies According to reports which seem entitled to ere= dit, the English have resolved to evacuate altogether the environs of Badajos, and to tike a 'more 'secure position on the frontier of PortUgal. It is even rumoured, thatthey are already but a very short way from Lisbon. The inhabitants of the South of Spain have heard of the deteat at Ocana with the utmost disnriy.—. The partisans and hirelings of England have now no other resource than to inform their wretched dupes that their misfortunes are to be entirely attributed to the ignorance and treachery of the Comman.ter in Chiet. A number of addresses are daily published here, with a view of convincing the incredulous) and to _bring them back to a sense both of their duty and their interest. Several of these prodne tions have been particularly addressed to the bitants of the province of Vthencia, because that province being the most wealthy, and lying nearest to the capital, must be impressed with the are.ituess of the danger that, threatens it, and teel ti l l -neces sity of 'preventing it by a speedy submissiOn.

ISLE OF BOURBON: FURTHER PARTICULARS OF ITS CAPTURE, Early in the morning of the 21st, about 350 of our brave soldiers, and 200 of our Royal Marines, \vete landed before day-break, and soon carried three, of the forts. The squadron went in and fired their broadsides, and then hauled out; the Sirius friptc, Capt. Peas, stood in again, and anxious to avail bim- - self of the only opportunity that presented itself to his vigilant eye, he asked leave, and was permitted, by signal from the Commodore, to anchor, and ac cordingly, in the utost gallant style, carried his little ship in and placed her within pistol-shot of the beach, and half-musket shot of the Cartdine French frigate and the two East Indiamen and a French brig of war, and opened so heavy a fire on them from his Eng lish bull-dogs, that in 20 minutes (the troops at the same tune charging through the town) the wholit struck their colours. Both army and navy joined is False of this brilliant enterprize, declaring they had never. seen or thought it possible for a ship to keep up so tremendous a the as the Sirius exhibited oa that occasion ; and we understand it was principally owing to the very great exertions of Captain FYM, his officers and,crew, that the two Indiamen w e re saved from 13 , ing'burnt ; or that any of the stores ' and goods from the shore were taken offlind put on board the Streatham.
